How long are you sore for?

[Wynn]

It depends on the bodypart for me. Legs stay sore longest at four or five days. I have trouble having my shoulders sore a day if at all.

Diet counts in the time as well as rest. If I get certain veggies (especially broccoli) and a decent night's sleep, the soreness goes away faster.

Stop training legs for weeks and do heavy squats ATF + real heavy calves and you won't be able to walk for one week

Sore for close to 10 years and still ongoing

I am usually the most sore two days after a workout, then kinda sore on the third day, and usually good to go by day three, but then alow the rest of the week (four days more) before I hit a part again so I can grow a little- when I finally ever get "on", I'll lift like a mofo and hopefully heal faster.

Legs are longest at about 3-4..then chest and tri's for some reason..

I can shoulder press and front-delt raise all day and they will never get sore, only certain bench days make front delts sore.

I have genetically big calves that never get sore..ever, only a charlie horse will get them sore, and I pray those never happen..

Bi's never ever got sore until I started hitting the standing isolation curls hard. Infact, they are still sore, this is day three, suckage.

I HAVE A QUESTION:I can never ever get my lats sore. Ever. I can wide grip pull up, row machine, lat pulldown, and row (one knee on bench, up towards chest) on the same day, back to back and the next day I am fine as a whistle, please..any advice on getting the lats sore?? Thanks

2 words -- Pull Overs

Shoulders (only) on a flat bench at a 90 degree angle to the bench itself. Hold a dumbell in both hands suspending it over your chest. Ease the dumbell backwards, past your head and to the floor, making sure you keep your hips low (no levering your hips up as your arms drop). Keep your triceps out of the movement as much as possible. Let the the dumbell streach you backwards as you ease it down, then, fire your lats only at first (your chest will kick-in as your bring it up) and pull the dumbell back up from behind your head and back over your chest. Rinse, repeat.

I love pull-overs. For me, they are like a squat for your upper body.

at most 2 days , normally 1 day of DOMS

Like someone else said, I rarely get sore unless I switch up my routine... but I always feel like I just got my ass kicked at the end of my workout.

 

[Aussiedamo]

Usually only sore for 1 or 2 days if I put something new in a workout, but I did deadlifts 5 days ago and my back is still killing me, although it got worse each day for 2 days and now each day its not so bad.

 

[Royster]

it varies, depending on the volume of the workout, and whether I have taken any sets to failure.
